The Sept. 6 features article “Event support: the real men (and women) in black” erroneously stated the title of Katherine May as event support assistant manager. As of May, she no longer worked at UR. The article also erroneously stated the title of Paul Berretta as event support technician, but as of May he also no longer worked at the University. The article further incorrectly stated that reserva- 4 tion coordinator Saundra Peters works for Event Support, when in fact she works for the Student Activities Office. Furthermore, the 6 article stated that Event Support can unlock a room for a meeting. Event Support does provide access to classrooms for weekly meet- ings and special events, but classes are unlocked by a division of Information Technology called Classroom Technology Services. Ad- ditionally, the article mentioned that chairs at all events are placed by Event Support. However, Event Support only provides furniture services for events held in Wilson Commons. Lastly, Event Support’s shirts are always black, not navy blue as the article stated. 1 It is the policy of the Campus Times to correct all erroneous information as quickly as possible.

Thursday, september 13, 2012 campustimes.org / page 5 Opinions EDITORIAL EDITORIAL BOARD cartoon Medical amnesty amelioration Drugs and alcohol have a presence on most college campuses, regardless of policies set by the institution, and UR is no exception. As a result, any college or university should be well-prepared to handle situations in which drugs and alcohol could harm students. It is for this reason that UR and the Standing Committee on Alcohol Policy and Education (SCAPE) should be commended for the new medical amnesty program, which is now included in the 2012-13 edition of the Standards of Student Conduct booklet. Previously, students who violated policies pertaining to drugs and alcohol could participate in an educational course concerning the substance in question as part of a program called Second Chance. If the course was successfully completed, no indication of the incident would be documented on the student’s record. This policy, like the new medical amnesty program, was intended to reduce students’ concerns about punishment if the need for medical assistance arose. According to the new policy, if a student calls for medical assistance related to an incident concerning Alex Kurland / staff illustrator drugs and alcohol involving another student, neither party will be punished for violating the University’s EDITORIAL observer drugs and alcohol policy. Residential Life staff or UR Security will still be obligated to generate an incident report, however, even if medical amnesty is granted. After the incident is reported, staff in Residential Life and the Center for Student Conflict Management will determine if it can be considered The humanities: learning a conduct issue, a situation in which medical amnesty should be granted, or a CARE issue, also taking into account facts obtained from UR Security and witnesses to the event. In an email to students sent on Monday, Sept. 10, Dean of Students Matthew Burns explained that one of the goals of this new about what we live for policy is to encourage students to seek aid when it is needed, rather than fearing punishment.

“Dean Burdick performs what I can only assume is wizardry in order to get the proper amount of students enrolled. Every time it just works. I swear he is some kind of sorcerer.”

— Admissions Counselor Chris Bierasinski '10

Article by antoinette esce / features editor design by julia sklar / presentation editor massive machine stamping out acceptances and rejections with a vengeance: how most college applicants picture an admissions office. A But looking at the UR student body, with its intellect, diversity and common friendly disposition, it's hard to imagine a computer putting that group together. After speaking with a number of the people who picked us and will pick our future class- mates, it’s obvious a machine couldn’t be further from the truth. The UR admissions counselors are not robots. In fact, they are intelligent, funny and, above all, real people. While most college admissions offices have a “revolving door” when it comes to staff, meaning that most counselors only stay for a few years before moving on, the past UR ad- missions staffs have been characterized by more experienced admissions counselors. These counselors have great connections with alumni and understand both the system and the University. To ensure that UR maintains a balance of old and new staff, Dean of Admissions and Fi- nancial Aid Jonathan Burdick has started hiring more recent UR graduates as admissions counselors; coming right out of our campus environment, he believes they have the best feel for the University.

CT Recommends... Not only do I take great pleasure in being able to recommend a local band, but I also take great pleasure in being able to recommend a group that’s so off-the-map it doesn’t even have a Wikipe- dia page. I know, right? Joywave Over the summer, I was perusing the Bug Jar’s upcoming lineups for this semester, and, in the process, discovered a Rochesterian group called Joywave. Joywave is one of those rare musical by julia sklar ensembles that necessitates the simultaneously frustrating and exciting experience of trying to de- presentation Editor scribe a sound that isn’t really reminiscent of any other band. The closest you might get is to say that their music can have Yeasayer- or Cut/Copy-esque aspects for a few seconds at a time, but, on the whole, Joywave just sounds like Joywave. Their sophomore release, a succinct seven-song album called “Koda Vista,” is the best of their work so far, which includes their debut album and a single. The group employs the use of elec- tronic undertones and synthesizers, but in a foggy way that seems more like a mask over their more classic guitar-bass-and-drums set up. The best track on “Koda Vista” is “True Grit” — it’s as if the first three songs build up to it and the last three songs break it back down. Although “True Grit’s” structure initially alludes to an MTV top 20 from the 80s — with electric guitar and breathy, anxious singing — it quickly reveals its electrifying 21st century foundation, making it the perfect song for first-time listeners to use as their introduction to Joywave.
